In Neo-Assyria, memory is a commodity, emotions are currency, and happiness can be customized. The Balance Council uses a memory cleaning operation called "purification" to maintain false peace in the entire city.
Ling Zhou, a top memory tuner living at the bottom of the city, believes in money first, until he is forced to take on an impossible task - to repair the broken taboo memory in the mind of a mysterious "blank body" girl.
This memory is the key to the darkest secret of the city's birth.
When the most ruthless hound in the parliament, "Night Owl", followed the trail, Ling Zhou's rules of survival were completely broken. On the way to escape, he dived into the depths of the girl's broken consciousness, but what he saw was his erased childhood and his father's back in the dust of history.
Every memory restoration is a torture of the soul. Every time he had a mental connection with the girl, his cold shell peeled off inch by inch.
He must make a choice: continue to be a walking corpse living in lies, or ignite the memory fire that can burn the entire false world and sacrifice everything for a true dawn?
